Chapter 292 All the way to the south
The reason why he gave birth to the inner demon was because he lost his power. In three years, he had cultivated to the realm of heaven, from nothing to having nearly ten thousand kilograms of arm strength. Unconsciously, his dependence on power has been deeply rooted in his heart. Power has become his foothold and cannot be separated from air. When he loses it at a moment, he is like a desperate situation. The belief, determination, pride, etc. brought by power also fall together. Fortunately, he was stopped in time and did not collapse completely.
After all, it is because Xiao Anzi is too young and has experienced too little. Although his mood is high, he is only maintained by strength. It is false that he is not surprised by the favor and disgrace of his feelings. It is like a tower in the air, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time.
However, how many people in this world can really let go after picking it up...
Looking at An Bochen who had recovered from peace, Sima Jin thought silently.
The flying dragon hovered over the sky. Looking across the sky clouds, I saw the rolling hills covered with dark figures. Looking closely, I could find that the people on Nanguqiu were divided into three types: one was soldiers holding soldiers, the second was refugees in ragged clothes but holding bamboo poles and wooden sticks, and the third was the elderly, women and children who were unable to tie chickens in the refugee pile.
"Xiao Anzi, have you seen those refugees?"
After a moment of silence, Sima Jin asked.
Putting down Qianli's eyes, An Bochen nodded, then raised his head and looked at Sima Jin in confusion.
"Do they have cultivation?" Sima Jin asked.
"No." Amber Chen said.
"Yes, they have no cultivation but can compete with the Liu Kingdom army. They will be defeated ten times without disintegration. They will defeat the Liu Army with one strike. What do you think they rely on?"
Sima Jin said sternly, few of whom were serious.
It’s a pity that the next moment, the serious atmosphere was destroyed by An Bochen’s ungrateful attitude.
"Because someone manipulated behind the scenes, he tricked the Liu army to lure the Liu army and took advantage of the Liu army's victory and took advantage of the Liu army's victory, and it was successful in one fell swoop."
An Bochen said seriously, and Sima Jin gritted his teeth and just wanted to kick An Bochen down.
"Hmph, I'll use my brain at this time. Stop telling a cold joke, you know what I'm referring to. Not to mention the mastermind behind the scenes, these refugees themselves have no cultivation and no strength. They can fight against the Iron Cavalry of the Ryu Kingdom without fear. What do they rely on?"
Touching his nose, An Bochen blushed and replied honestly: "Because they have lost everything and have nothing, no matter what, they will not lose anything, so they can fight for it without their lives."
"They were reluctant to answer correctly. They lost everything, but had the most unmatched power in the world. If they still had a place, wealth, and fields, cattle and sheep, they would naturally be afraid of the front and back, and thus they would lose that power."
"But... what I lost is the power itself."
"That's the same. For you now, strength is probably your greatest wealth." Sima Jin said, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be inappropriate. He glanced at An Bochen and saw that he was blushing at him, wanting to speak but stopping, as if he wanted to defend something.
The high wind surged from the clouds, blowing Sima Jin's long cherry red hair, as light as tassels, dancing, and his heartbeat also became faster.
When I am with this guy, I always give birth to a pretentious little daughter from time to time. It's really...
Sima Jin sighed inwardly, but he was too lazy to compete with his own heart. He turned his head to avoid An Bochen's gaze, looked at the people under the clouds, and smiled faintly, "Even if it is not all, that's very important. But do you know that you think you have power, but you are actually possessed by power."
......Owned by power?
An Bochen was stunned and looked at Sima Jin in a complicated way, then stretched out his hands to look at him quietly.
As Sima Jin said, strength is indeed very important to him. I don’t remember when he started. His life was only about eating, drinking, sleeping, missing and pursuing power. When the power he had became stronger and bigger, his life seemed to be controlled by power. He needed strength to protect himself, to break the deadlock, and to survive... Although he had strength, he was also possessed by power, even... enslaved?
Practicing Taoism is just to gain strength?
It is said that the road is endless. If it is indeed the case from the perspective of pursuing power, a mountain is higher than a mountain. No matter how much realm there is in the world, there will always be a higher realm. Even if you have supreme power, you will definitely want to pursue more powerful power at that time.
But if the practice of Taoism is just for the pursuit of power, the purpose of practicing Taoism and the practice of Taoism itself are contradictory.
What a practitioner practices is freedom, freedom, unrestrained, in harmony with the way of heaven, and in harmony with all things. If he only pursues power, he will eventually be bound by power and lose the meaning of the way of cultivation. But if he does not pursue power and only seeks a heart of Tao, he will not be able to have full confidence in protecting his skin and soul, and will not be able to go further on the way of Tao.
Practicing Taoism is also cultivating power. However, power is neither the Tao itself nor the Tao. It is neither indispensable nor enslaved by it.
In other words, Tao and power are mutually repelled and restrained, and only when grasped properly can they coexist in the hearts of those who practice Taoism, without being confused or confused...
......
With the wind flowing, Sima sat on the soft collapse with her legs raised, holding her head and quietly looking at An Bochen who was closing his eyes and concentrating his mind.
When he meditated, he seemed to have become a different person, calm and free, and his already light eyebrows became more and more calm, as if he would not care even if the sky fell.
According to common sense, the protagonists in the heroic dramas in history either have thick eyebrows, big eyes, dragons and tigers, or are handsome and handsome, and are charming. Once again, they will be a bit scary and natural strange. They can't be as unpretentious as Xiao Anzi. But the one with the surname Yi wrote Xiao Anzi into his "historical book". He has always been accurate in his view and has never made any mistakes. Could it be that Xiao Anzi really wants to be a hero?
After looking up and down, Sima Jin remembered the autumn night of Liujing that year. He was so excited by his own words "Do you want to learn kung fu?". The smile in his eyes gradually spread and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hongfu, I understand. Tao and power are also yin and yang."
Opening his eyes, An Bochen said lightly.
Looking at Sima Jin, whose eyes were filled with smiles like crescent moons, An Bochen looked confused and confused like a monk.
"Do you really understand? Well, I ask you, since Tao and power are indispensable, and you need strength now but cannot find it, what should you do?"
Sima Jin asked with a stern smile as he cursed his face.
"I'll be back sooner or later," said Amberchen.
"You're not in a hurry?"
"Of course, I'm anxious, but if I'm too anxious, I'll never be able to retrieve it."
"Yes, one set after another. I originally planned to take you to visit a few more places, but since you have already realized it, let's go directly to the Southern Wilderness."
Sima Jin sighed and said with a smile. Suddenly, his eyebrows raised, turned his head and looked behind him, showing deep thoughts.
"What's wrong?" asked An Bochen.
"Nothing...that's just a fun thing to come to your door."
A look of crampedness flashed in his eyes. Sima Jin withdrew his gaze and whipped the Wild Horse King. The Wild Horse King shivered and his legs trembled, and he quickly flapped his wings and continued to fly.
The sun has passed the middle of the sky and gradually fell westward. The sky in early summer is very blue, with clouds high and flying dragons driving through the blue sky and white clouds. With the airflow, it has passed the wide and gloomy Black Sze Ridge soon.
"Yes, Xiao Anzi."
As if he had thought of something, Sima Jin turned his head and said to An Bochen with a smile: "There is a saying that you may have never heard of. If you want to be the dragon and elephant of all Buddhas, you should be the cow and horse of all living beings first. Your practice has improved too quickly and temporarily lost power, which may be a good thing for you."
Holding the soft horn lightly, An Bochen nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, after Sima Jin told him the allusion of Hongfu running at night, most of the obsession in An Bochen's heart had dissipated. If he couldn't let it go, how could he take it? Besides, Li Jing, who was attracted by Hongfu in the story, could he soar into the sky, so how could he be behind him? It is a matter of time before he gets his power again. No matter how long he has to wait, An Bochen will keep his mind firmly and be unstoppable and disgraceful.
"If you want to be the Buddha, dragon and elephant, you will be the cow, horse and sentient beings..."
An Bochen muttered in a low voice, and suddenly frowned.
Wait... It's wrong. The front and back of these words are all about being used as a mount for others. Hong Fu is clearly hurting me!
He turned his head helplessly, and before An Bochen could speak, Sima Jin burst out laughing.
I was talking and laughing all the way, and at sunset, the flying dragon finally crossed the long Lingnan and reached the southern end of the empire.
An Bochen and Sima Jin stole half a day of leisure and were happy and free, but the fat man who was regarded as an excuse for traveling could not be happy, and laughed even worse than crying.
"Don't come over..."
Looking at the woman in front of her in despair, Li Xiaoguan shivered and retreated tremblingly.
